Treasurer Josh Frydenberg has handed down a blunt message to Premiers, urging the states to be honest with the people that Australia will see more deaths from Covid-19.

Speaking with the Today Show, Mr Frydenberg said if Australians wanted to live a life without lockdowns, then they needed to accept people will die.

“So people have to be straight with the public and tell them there are going to be more cases. There are going to be deaths. But we can’t live in lockdown forever. That’s our message,” he said.

Mr Frydenberg also warned state leaders that federal support would not continue if lockdowns occurred after Australia reached the 80 per cent target.

“The state premiers should have no expectation that our commonwealth assistance will continue in the scale that it has been to date because we are working to a plan and that is why the vaccination target of 70 per cent and 80 per cent is so important,” he said.

“That’s why I’m saying to the premiers and to the chief ministers, the government’s emergency economic support does not continue indefinitely. It is there until we get the vaccination rate to the levels that they agreed with the prime minister at national cabinet.”

The treasurer’s comments come ahead of what is expected to be a tense meeting of the national cabinet.
